  • In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise
    In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad, and his family and all companions. Today, amidst the coronavirus pandemic, we witness the situation where our places of worship are closed. But not our hearts. Our worship places moved to our hearts, where we keep praying to the Almighty Allah. Last year, my Brother, His Eminence the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmad Al- Tayyeb and His Holiness Pope Francis, together with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, have signed the joint document of “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together”. Today, responding to the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity’s call for the joint prayer of the leaders and representatives of all World religions, I fully support this Godly idea. Together with all faith leaders over the World, we, the faith leaders in Azerbaijan – Muslims, Christians and Jews, will celebrate May 14 as “a day for fasting, prayers and supplications for the good of all humanity", for the end of that terrible pandemic. My country is in the forefront of this fight. All necessary measures have been taken to protect people from infection, so it is a result of the proper policy of the Government and the Head of State. There is no boundary for spiritual life. Obviously, today we are in a big need to the Unity. The God is One, Sole, but He wants us to be together. However, when Christians, Muslims, and Jews, when people of all faiths on Earth are together, we become strong.

  • Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality
    Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality 2020 POLICY STUDY Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality Aleksandre Kvakhadze POLICY STUDY 2020 Introduction Since declaring its independence, the Georgian state has been struggling with the integration of its ethnic minorities. The regions densely populated by ethnic Azerbaijanis and Armenians have been passively involved in the social and political processes in Georgia. The combination of the legacy of Soviet ‘national policy,’ an ineffective educational system and socio-economic problems hinder the integration of these regions. This paper will be devoted to the Gardabani municipality, an administrative entity with a significant Azerbaijani population. Several factors have determined the choice of this region for this study. Firstly, geographically speaking, the region represents a suburban area of the cities of Tbilisi and Rustavi. It can be considered as a part of ‘greater Tbilisi/Rustavi’ or a ‘Tbilisi-Rustavi agglomeration.’ Secondly, despite its proximity to Georgia’s political and economic center, the Azerbaijani community in this region has been leading a parallel life and is disconnected from the country’s social and political dynamics. Simultaneously, very little is known about this region and very little research has been carried out on its multi-ethnic population. Unlike the neighboring Marneuli municipality, which has been receiving increasing attention from academia, the media and the non-governmental sector, the Azerbaijani population in Garbadani remains neglected by academic and non-governmental bodies. For instance, there is no comprehensive academic research on the linguistic, historical, ethnologic, social and religious parameters of Azerbaijanis in Gardabani. The absence of reliable works leads to myths and uncertainties regarding Georgia’s Azerbaijanis.

  • Report Azerbaijan
    Report Azerbaijan: Religious Pluralism and Challenges Of Cultivating Identity This paper was originally written in Arabic by: Dr. Fatima Al-Smadi* Translated into English by: AMEC Al Jazeera Centre for Studies 15 October 2015 Tel: +974-40158384 [email protected] http://studies.aljazeera.n [AlJazeera] Abstract The Azerbaijani experience points to the existence of an interactive situation between social and cultural components, which has led to the emergence of a religious existence that can be called “the Azerbaijan model”. In addition to Shia and Sunni Muslims, who make up the majority of the population, Jews, as well as followers of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Russian Orthodox Church and other religions are all citizens of Azerbaijan. This report discusses “the Azerbaijan model” in terms of levels of coexistence and religious diversity, as well as the challenges faced by the country in terms of this issue. Introduction Most statistics contend that ninety-six per cent of Azerbaijan’s population is Muslim, while the remainder (four per cent) is distributed among other religions, such as Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism. Meanwhile, government officials say that ninety-two per cent of the population is Muslim.(1) Some statistics say that Shia represent eighty-five per cent of the Muslim population, while the percentage of Sunni Muslims is fifteen per cent. But, according to officials running religious affairs in the coutnry, the percentage of Sunni Muslims is actually thirty-five per cent.(2) The report concludes that the religious situation in Azerbaijan is largely linked to the country’s geopolitical situation and given that it is surrounded by significant actors in the region, including Russia, Turkey and Iran.

In this respect, worthy mentioning of a staunch friend of Azerbaijan, First Deputy Minister of Kuwait for Islam and Vakfs, Chairman of the Asian Muslims Committee, Dr. Adil Al-Falah. First-hand acquaintance with his work devoted to Heydar Aliyev makes it possible to infer that Dr. A. Al-Falah not only kept up with our nationwide leader but also thrashed out works, declarations, statements and speecb.es of Heydar Aliyev. Contributing to the importance of the present work is its having been written in Arabic and thus available to broader circles of multi-million Arab readers and public opinion to familiarize themselves with titanic activity of Heydar Aliyev.
